For example, one of the most frequent uses of the term subculture is in relation to young people (youth subcultures). 

In Britain, for example, we recognise the youth category "teenager" as a potentially-distinctive subcultural group. Although teenagers may develop interests and behaviour that are unique to this group (ways of dressing, the kind of music they enjoy, particular forms of language and so forth) which set them apart as a subcultural grouping (or rather, as a number of different sub-cultural groupings - we could note in this respect such distinctive groups as: skinheads, punks, hippies, ravers and so forth), they nevertheless remain within the general cultural framework of society. Teenagers, for example, live in families, go to school, work, hold religious beliefs and so forth.
